Who here knows anything about electricity?

OK, so I have a mining rig that uses about 1,000watts.
I'm thinking about getting a solar generator to power just this rig.
What's the math? I can get something like this
THIS [amazon.com]
Which should work fine for the wattage needed. But how long will it's 300,000mAh battery last me overnight or on cloudy days?

Sounds like a hardware problem? I'm the chief executive vice president of the electric company. Kindly provide your account # & I'll begin transfer of electricity most expediently. God bless!!

no such thing as purgatory, just a scam concocted the pope thousands of years ago to bamboozle sinners. Same way with Lent, just another scam created by the fishing industry paying off the pope. They still reap zillions by selling those ridiculous flounder sandwiches at popeyes!

I would either use a paddle in a stream to run a generator or get a windmill

I spend my life watching people on youtube convert old washing machines into generators. Things I will probably never be able to do. Sadwalk

Do you mean it has a 1000W power supply or you have actually measured that it uses 1000w. I will admit I have no experience in mining, however the servers in our datacenter are all on smart PDUs and none of them for several servers even come up to 10 amps?

3080 300w
1080 150w
6900 350w
That's actual usage. Then the system and the 6 fans I have on it, ssds and 2 4tb storage drives...I haven't actually measured the 2 850w psu's but best I can tell it's right around 1000w actual.

So you have 2 850 W power supplies and they are not redundant? You would be a lot better off with a single gold or better PS the closer you are to the rating the more efficient they can run with some caveats.
